    Would you swap your: Specialization Weapon for Reviver Hive?

    At a guess i would say 75% of players have Reviver Hive equipped and around 75% of players don't use their Specialization Weapon.

    Would you swap for it and free up a extra skill?

    I know i would

    God i wish specializations weapons felt good to use, but i think giving everyone reviver hive would be too much of a crutch, still sad that we don't have a defibrilator/eletric specialization weapon that could revive people

    That could have been a great addition. Like a field medic specialization tree to spec into

    Depends on the build. Certainly I'd love the option, but it wouldnt be used in every one of my builds.

    My firewall EP build uses the flamethrower all the time. And my mortar build breaks out the nade launcher regularly to rapid fire explode heavies, or whenever there's an excess of ammo.

    But any gunner or sharpshooter build you're damn sure that specialization weapon isn't getting used. So a free revive would be nice.

    Really tho, this is just a testament to how specialization weapons needed better implementation.

    Specialization weapons need to be on par with your difficulty to be effective. They are nice and get use, for me, when helping other low level Agents. But yes, Gunner, Sharpshooter, Survivalist, and Tech I believe rarely get pulled out. I wouldnt agree with a revive free-be tho. Maybe amped spec. ammo?

    I am one of those 75% that use a reviver hive on two of my builds but I am one of those 25% that do use their specialization weapon in certain areas of missions.

    The crossbow specialisation was supposed to be the healer if you look at the armor plate talent.
    And the seekermine variant that is doo doo still.
    Maybe make that seekermine revive people instead of healing.

    The only time I would use a hive would be with a shield build because I would be going deep into the enemy. Legendary and raids also but not regular heroic play.

    I'd be happy with just being able to un-equip the damned thing. As it is, except for 1 build, I use only the flamethrower simply because it is the lower profile specialization weapon.

    i would , specialization weapons are completly dispensable.

    but what i really would love, would be the weapon to not have that cluncky swap animation , that is the main reason i dont use it more often , and im not talking about the visual effect , that i turned off eons ago , its really the cluncky animation that takes forever swaping from and into.
